image for "illumination" Explanation: Maybe someone looking at this can come up with the proper term. Here is a diagram in Portuguese.

stem Explanation: Thanks to the link provided by Edgar, and some research I found: stem deter, originar-se, brotar, proceder, derivar; proa, pé (do cálice), pedúnculo, tubo (de lâmpada fluorescente) and this: "The electric light bulb... known as the incandescent lamp, is used to provide light. It consists of a brass or aluminium base having either a screw thread or two small pins projecting from its base. These are used to secure the lamp into a socket. The metal base of the bulb, called a base shell is a hollow cup. Rising from the base shell is a hollow glass tube known as a stem press. Sealed into the stem press are two thin wires that run from the base to the upper part of the lamp." http://www.lycos.com/info/light-bulb.html Hope it helps. Good luck! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2006-09-29 13:27:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also found this one.
